On 12 February 2026 (the "Grant Date") Victrex awarded 13,035 free shares in the Company (the "Deferred Bonus Buyout Shares") to Dr. James Routh, Chief Executive Officer, as agreed as part of his recruitment package.

The Deferred Bonus Buyout Shares were awarded to compensate Dr. Routh in respect of 6,619 shares he would have received in his previous employer, AB Dynamics plc, but for him ceasing to be an employee of AB Dynamics plc in order to join Victrex.

The number of Deferred Bonus Buyout Shares was based on the closing share price of Victrex and AB Dynamics plc on 31 December 2025, being the latest dealing date prior to Dr. Routh commencing employment with Victrex on 1 January 2026.
